She dozed off and woke up at eight o’clock in the morning.

Mei Yangyang brought her a new quilt jacket that was white in color and thick enough to keep her warm.

Long Xiaoxi adhered to her mother’s instructions and put on the jacket, only to discover that it was really comfortable.

“What does Dummy do for a living now?”

Mei Yangyang began singing praises for Ji Gui. “He’s really impressive. He’s a math genius. He’s already set up his own company despite being so young.”

“He’s been excellent at math ever since we were children. How about Rongyan?” said an unsurprised Long Xiaoxi.

“Rongyan is working at the hospital. He graduated from medical school a long time ago.”

She expressed assent and began eating quietly.

Long Xiaoxi used to sport a short bob. However, she began to grow her hair out after she went abroad and had been keeping her hair long ever since. She had her long locks permed and dyed and allowed them to cascade beautifully down her back.

She remained silent throughout.

Long Xiaoxi headed out. She decided to go on foot instead of asking the chauffeur to send her.

She left with her purse and a pair of boots on her feet. Shortly after, a car pulled over beside her and the door was opened. Out came a handsome and neat-looking man. He took a close look at her features before asking, “Are you Xiaoxi?”

Long Xiaoxi answered, “It’s me, Rongyan. Long time no see.”

Staring at her, Jin Rongyan smiled and said, “I really haven’t seen you in a long time. When did you come home?”

“Yesterday.”

“Where are you going? I’m on my way to work, I can give you a ride.”

“Nah, it’s alright. I’d like to take a stroll outside and enjoy the breeze.”

Jin Rongyan nodded. Just as he was about to turn around, he pointed at a car and said, “There, that’s Ji Gui’s car.”

Long Xiaoxi immediately stepped forward. As soon as Ji Gui alighted, he felt his leg being kicked. Who’d have the audacity to kick me? Is he tired of living? he thought. The moment he saw Long Xiaoxi, he exclaimed in shock, “Xiaoxi!?! Oh my god, am I seeing things? It really is you.”

“Dummy, why have you become like this? What happened to the dimwitted Dummy I used to know?” Long Xiaoxi remarked while staring at him.

“Goddamn it. I’m really dashing now. The dimwitted style doesn’t suit me.”

Long Xiaoxi said with a sigh, “People really do change with time.”

“…”

Ji Gui was bewildered. I’m so handsome and I’m almost comparable to those young hunks of the entertainment industry, he thought to himself. Although he had a trendy, curly, center-parted hairstyle, Long Xiaoxi found it hideous.

“I almost couldn’t recognize you. Why have you become so tall? I’m towering over many others with my 1.8-meter stature and yet I suddenly seem so short next to you. You’d better avoid stilettos. I really wonder if you took any steroids to boost your height when you were abroad.”

Long Xiaoxi rolled her eyes and said, “Screw you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Long Xiaoxi could not believe how quick-witted Ji Gui had become. He was worlds apart from his younger self. She said, “I’m leaving now. Not going to waste my breath talking to you.”

“Xiaoxi, what do you say we catch up over dinner tonight?”

“Sure, let’s exchange phone numbers.”

She had already met all of her childhood friends except Jin Yiheng.
